Presented by the Melbourne
Festival and the Greek Centre for
Contemporary Culture, it is a Greek
artist who has made headlines
this year on the occasion of
the festival that will feature
over 100 artists from
different countries.
The Greek pop star
Mihalis Hatzigiannis
was a choice of the
Melbourne Festival.
He was seen as
having the calibre
to perform with
an orchestra with
the reputation of
the Melbourne
Symphony
Orchestra.
The internationally
acclaimed Melbourne
orchestra will be
backing up the Greek
superstar as he takes
to the stage of the iconic
Sidney Myer Music Bowl,
where hundreds of Greek
Australians are expected
to make their way tonight.
And the connection
of Hatzigiannis with
the Greek diaspora
of Australia is not
a recent one.
"My relationship
with Melbourne and
my fans in Australia is a
relationship that began in
2005, in Melbourne, when I
appeared at the Concert Hall.
It has since developed into
a stable and meaningful
artistic relationship. I found
myself close to the Greek
community of Melbourne,
and Sydney as well, both
through the concerts I gave
in the past and through
my personal contacts,"
